What Got You Here Won't Get You There – What I'm Changing for 2026.
Wed Feb 04 2026
There comes a moment in every business and creative journey when you realize that the strategies, habits, and choices that helped you grow may no longer be the ones that will carry you forward. Growth requires reassessment, honesty, and sometimes a willingness to let go of what once worked. This episode explores that pivotal idea — the space between where you’ve been successful and where you’re being called next. It’s about evolution, alignment, and giving yourself permission to shift.
In this milestone 250th episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I’m reflecting on two major markers: ten years in business with Lightbeamers and five years of podcasting. After a short break, I’m back behind the mic to share what these milestones have taught me — and how they’re shaping the next chapter of my work, my leadership, and my life.
Join me today as I share with you:
Why starting before you’re ready is often the reason clarity eventually finds you
The hidden cost of holding onto offers, strategies, or identities that have already run their course
How seasons of life influence the way you’re meant to build and lead
The difference between scaling digitally and creating deeply human, in-person experiences
What long-term sustainability actually looks like after a decade in business
How speaking, storytelling, and visibility can evolve as your goals evolve
The powerful questions you should be asking when you feel an internal “nudge” to change
As I recorded this episode, I realized how much clarity comes from looking back with honesty and looking forward with intention. If you’re feeling that quiet pull to do things differently — to simplify, deepen, or realign — this conversation is for you. I invite you to listen with an open heart, reflect on what got you here, and consider what might be calling you next. And if something in this episode resonates, come find me — send me a message on Instagram, join our community, or step into one of our in-person experiences this year.
Let’s stop doing this journey alone and start building the next chapter together.
